    Waterproof distributor

    I might be able to buy NOS for one...it will be a long shot but worth checking out. The one in my '48' might be one if its any good.

    Waterproof distributor

    I have a '48' that has the water proof distributor and the coil in under the dash on pass. side. Is there a 12 V coil that can be used and would it have to have a resistor built into the coil? Thanks

    Waterproof distributor

    My M38 A-1 has been converted to 12V w/o waterproof distributor. If I add the waterproof distributor do I have to convert it back to a 24 V system? (I have the early model type made in Jan. '53.') If not how do I set it up? Thanks

    Dana 60 for front end

    It seems like the axle hub is losing its plumb. I took one off of a donor truck and put it on mine exactly as I took it off. My other one has never done that.

    Dana 60 for front end

    They aren't breaking.... the passenger side front is loosing its toe in drastically. It will be so far out that you can't drive in a straight line. It's happened twice and I can't figure out why it is happening.

    Dana 60 for front end

    Thank each of you for the input on the Dana 60 swap. There are a lot more variables to the swap than I considered. I do have hummer tires on one M880, 36 X 16.5's and they are great. I had to have a leaf added on the front and the leafs arched to prevent rubbing. It will be nice having the...

    Dana 60 for front end

    On one M880 I have replaced the axles on the Dana 44 HD twice. I'm thinking about replacing the HD 44 with a Dana 60. Has anyone done this and how does the Full time NP 203 work on that set up?
